T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[UmerIdrees]

The match has started already and Galle Marvels have made a good start today and it could be very good thing as this type of start for them because at this time they must have to put Colombo Strikers under pressure then they can play freely.
Niroshan Dickwella and Alex Hales have made such a good start they must have to do this for longer time and try to not lose wickets under the powerplay.
If one of them will lose his wicket then they must have to try to don’t lose their batting and play again as they are playing right now. However, I think today we will see a close match between these teams.

It was a very big loss for Galle Marvels because they lost a perfect opener who is the team's captain too, one and only Niroshan Dickwella. But when he was not then he gave a lot to his team now there is a type of middle order to make good runs and try to give good targets. He lost his wicket when he made 50 in 18 which is such a good innings, now the other team must have to take over the match but this time, we are seeing poor performance from them, and we don’t want to see Niroshan Dickwella 50 to be gone wasted. 

Thisara Perera is the captain of the Colombo Strikers and as they won their last match in such a good way then for sure, they are too much confident after that one victory  they must have to win it because if they will win then they will get a big lead and there chances will increase to qualify for the playoffs and also they have an important weapon Shadab Khan. He could do as well as possible. I think, Colombo Strikers must have to give overs to Shadab Khan in the powerplay but remember to save him for death overs too. He is the main player for them.

Yes hopefully we see very close match today same like previous fourth match and in this match, Jaffna Kings squad emerged victorious with very narrow margin of wickets and delivery. Today fight match of Lanka Premier League competition has already begun among sqauds Colombo Strikers against Galle Marvels. Today these sqauds already emerged victory in their previous matches and both have equal number of win points with minor difference in their runs rate. Galle Marvels squad successfully completed their first batting inning and in this inning, their batters played very amazingly like Niroshan Dickwella has managed to collect 50 scores after playing 18 deliveries  with power shots. Isuru Udana also completed mid century scores of total 52 with playing 34 deliveries these two batter showcased impressive performance that's why Galle Marvels squad has managed this 179 scores as Defeating target and now against squad batting inning has lived now and lets watch will Colombo sqaud achieved this victory or not?

Lmao. What investigation are you talking about? This is all just silly talk basically. Sky clearly took the catch properly without touching the boundary rope and dumb haters are just trying to spread nonsense.
Anyone with a half-decent brain wouldn't even bother discussing this stuff since it wasn't controversial at all. Think!

People should raise questions about the mentality and performance of South African players instead of raising questions about the catch. South Africa wouldn't even won the match if it was a six. 30 runs were required from 30 balls, and they let it happen to 16 runs from last 6 balls. They have lost the match in the same way as the way they won against Bangladesh and Nepal.

Any team in the world 30 runs from 30 balls where they have five valuable wickets but need 16 runs in an over towards the end, it was again some kind of defense mode game. David Miller and Maharaj will come in the last over to take Risks. The turning point for the South African players is why Risks did not take the 18th and 19th overs. SOUTH AFRICA NEVER PLAYED THE FINAL Anyway South Africa played the final this year but could not lift the cup in the final which will be a regret of their life.

Yes ,you are right. That was golden opportunity to South African players to play good in three overs and lift the trophy but they missed the chance and Indian team attacked on South African team and South African team played defensive inning because they have fear that they could lose the wickets and then match will be bend towards Indian team .

But That was not good strategy and no player tried to hit the boundary in 3rd last and 2nd last overs. South African team needed one boundary in the over with two singles or six singles in the over but they could not handle pressure and Bumrah bowling was attacking.  At the end india won the final and they are champions. SA team will not qualify in next World Cup because that is difficult for the team to qualify for final back to back tournaments.

At the first innings start, we thought that today Galle Marvels would win this match and will go up to 220 or maybe 230 but then after some time, we changed our thought because then we have seen suddenly back to back wickets by Colombo bowlers especially, Shadab Khan, and then we had a thought that Galle Marvels would not even touch to 100 but when they started to play slowly and calmly then after that they could be given an average target.

So many big names. Seattle Orcas sounds great, but what the heck is MI New York? That is such a stupid name. They clearly retained several players from the original MI side, but the name is downright hilarious.

Also, Wayne Parnell? Thought he retired from all forms of cricket a long time ago. Their team is Mini-South Africa basically.

Kenya beat Rwanda by 4 wickets in the Nairobi Sikh Union. They had given a target of 169 to Kenya. I thought it was a great effort from Rakep Patel's side to get such a good total. But at the same time, I guess they could have got some more. Because you know Patel team had a lot of wickets in hand. And as we can see from the Kenya innings, the total was not big enough. It was a very good surface to score runs. Rwanda should have capitalized on this chance to score more. Because in the end, it was not a big task for Kenya to win. Kenya was able to win the match with 14 balls left and four wickets in hand. A pretty easy win for them I would say. it is Mugabe player of the match performed really well with his 71 from 46 balls. Kundi with his blasting performance towards the end made sure that Kenya was able to win the match easily.

The scorecard either shows the steep decline of Kenya, or the rapid rise of Rwanda. Didier Ndikubwimana and Oscar Manishimwe got Rwanda to a total of 168/1, and apart from Shem Ngoche all the other Kenyan bowlers failed to take a wicket. And don't forget the fact that Kenya were the hosts for this tournament. Anyway, Kenya are leading the tournament with 5 wins from 5 matches. But all of them came against the weaker teams - Rwanda, Malawi and Zambia. And Kenya is the team that reached semi-finals of the ODI World Cup in 2003.

Well, if it was a six, then for sure South Africa would not be needing 16 in the last overs as they would have the more set batsmen still on the crease and the runs required would have been a lot less in the last over, making less pressure on the south African team. That was a crucial catch and it turned the game in the favor of the Indian team.

10 runs would have required from the last 5 balls if it was a six. So, the pressure would have been still on Miller. I believe he won't be able to take that runs from the remaining balls. After the 15th over, Miller scored 7 runs from 9 balls. Set batsmen has nothing to do there. South Africa should have tried for the victory earlier without taking the match to the final over.

Lanka Premium League

As we know that the T20 World Cup has now finished and India has won the trophy. And now after that the Lanka Premium League has been started and 3 matches already been played. And today there are 2 matches between these 4 teams.


Colombo Strikers vs Galle Marvels[/b]

There are only 5 teams which are participating in this league. Four are mentioned above and 5th one is Kandy Falcon. And according to the current situation CLS, KAF and GAM has 2-2-2 points. So let's see with today match which team will climb in points table.

Colombo Strikers team lost this match because in this match these players did not give properly with their team mates.  They were just raising hairs and not thinking about saving wickets.  Such an approach proved detrimental to his team.  It was important for the players to understand the team goal and strategy so that they could perform better together and work hard for the win but that was not the case.

First of all Galle Marvels played really well in yesterday match they made 179 runs and gave 180 runs target to Colombo Strikers. And Niroshan Dickwella and Isuru Udana played well and both made 102 runs collectively means 50 and 52 runs respectively. After that Colombo Strikers fought really well and tried really hard to chase the target but unfortunately then only made 172 runs and they just lost the match by 8 runs. So both teams were almost equal and fought really well. By the way match was really interesting and Congratulations to Galle Marvels for their close win.

Basically that was the final match pressure which lead the South African team to lose. By the way South Africa played very well and they fought till end but unfortunately they lost the match. When they lost the wicket of Klaassen I said that in my heart that now the South African team will lose the match. Because he was the person who was doing a key role in South Africa team. By the way unfortunately South Africa lost the match and the trophy too. Hope best of luch for the next time.

When Dwaine Pretorius got out, Galle Marvels were at 94/6. Binura Fernando and Binura Fernando were bowling really well at this point. But then the Colombo Strikers allowed Sahan Arachchige and Isuru Udana to build a 79 run 7th wicket partnership, that took them to a total of 179. Ideally Galle could have been dismissed for max 120. But that never happened and then the match slipped out of Colombo's hands. Late fireworks from Dunith Wellalage made it a close match, but in the end they lost by 7 runs.

Klassen surprisingly played a fearless cricket, and it appeared he had all intentions to remove 'chokers' tag but unfortunately Miller and Jansen made sure the tag remains intact

Klassen surprisingly played a fearless cricket, and it appeared he had all intentions to remove 'chokers' tag but unfortunately Miller and Jansen made sure the tag remains intact

They just tried to take the match deep because they didn't have the luxury of 8 batters like team India so they also knew one more wickets then they could lose ths match but even though after they realized the threat of Bumrah is inevitable, he just executed what he normally do and Jansen had no clue to even defend it.

The match was high scoring and close one too. I enjoyed this match and probably it is the best match of LPL so far.



Alex Hales was the first person at yesterday’s Sri Lankan Premier League who lost his wicket in the first innings, he was out by Fernando. When Fernando gave the ball onto the off side which was too slow and on that shot, Alex Hales could easily good shot or take at least a single but he touched the ball with his bat and the ball after touching went to the slip fielder side. By chance the fielder dropped it but caught it again. In other words, the ball slip from the fielder’s hand but he caught  it again and like this Alex Hales was out at yesterday’s match.

The Indian team after winning the Trophy, will be heading to their next assignment but with a whole new team   

In just two days time, we will see the new series that starts between India and Zimbabwe. We have seen none of the players from the Indian squad who played the World Cup and their B team is going to play against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe.
 
Shubman Gill is likely to lead the Indian team in this series as captain. Now also have to understand from here, we will never see Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja in any T20 match except the Indian Premier League. I think, this team is good at beating Zimbabwe but we cannot expect this team good performances against stong teams like Australia or New Zealand.

I partially agree. Kohli, Sharma and Jadeja will still appear in ODI and Test formats and IPL too which is why they won't be missed much in the T20 format and they went out with a bang which is just what they wanted.

This new team will easily defeat weak teams like Zimbabwe, Bangladesh etc, but they are strong enough to hold their own against teams like NZ, Australia etc.

The Indian cricket team could not reach the country after winning the World Cup due to the cyclone but they are currently staying in the country. Each player posted the World Cup trophy on their social media where millions of fans expressed their love. We saw through social media that the Prime Minister of India had a private meeting with the Indian cricket team. India will win a major tournament title after a long time. It's really great to see India celebrate this title. Earlier, Bangladesh won the World Cup title but did not celebrate like India.
